At dinner tonight I told R about Norse Bar and my assessment and she was more amiable to the concept than I had imagined. She liked the idea of little Norwegian flags put up everywhere ahead of time, though.

btw we went to Little Bucharest which was very good, if slightly slow/awkward service

Courtney and I went there w/ a Groupon and it was good, but yeh, the service was odd. I can't remember all the details at the moment, but one thing that stood out was that the manager was manically attentive and amidst his words of thanks and goodwill, he said "I love you."

Weird, Kr and I drove by Little Bucharest last night and she was like, "What do you know about that place?" And I said, "I know that it was apparently one of the worst Restaurant Clubs ever, but that was when it was a different location" -- I think it used to be on Ashland, by Art of Pizza -- "and from what I've heard, it's gotten better. But I also know they operate one of the summertime riverfront lunch spots, and I've been there, and it's not that great."

I'll go if we go at 1 and you pick a place (because three different people are asking me to select three different places for a drink tonight, dinner Monday, and lunch in like two weeks and I feel burdened).

Speaking of my burdens, can anybody think of an interesting place to eat lunch that's Red Line accessible between Fullerton and Thorndale? That seems like it should be easy, but of course I'm blanking.
